Buy cheap buy twice.

It's a shame the tyre rating system is so flawed, but it is.

Also people who review tyres online generally don't have a clue what they're on about.

They run the old set down to the cords, then are amazed at the available grip/traction of the new ditchfinders on the way to Sano's... hehe

I have had sparks coming out of my rears and it got very loose...but that was at Elvington and I was expecting it (so had my spare wheels to go home on).

It’s not always easy to know what to buy. My TVR is running on Toyo Proxes which have been great but no longer available in the size/spec I need. I don’t want to make an expensive mistake as the op seems to have done. Mind you I doubt you’d any tyre noise in a TVR. smile
